The main characters in the book of Hosea are Hosea, Gomer (his wife), and their children.

Their tumultuous relationship serves as an allegory for the unfaithfulness of Israel towards God.

Genesis 10 ANSWER: The story of Hosea and Gomer are in the Book of Hosea, the first three chapters. It is difficult to follow and when you contemplate the story it is sad.
